International award

The British Council is the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. We create friendly knowledge and understanding between the people of the UK and other countries. We do this by making a positive contribution to the UK and the countries we work with – changing lives by creating opportunities, building connections and engendering trust.

We believe every young person in the UK should have international experience. We help schools bring the world into the classroom by providing support and funding for international partnerships, curriculum projects, language teaching and continuing professional development for teachers. This includes our International School Award accreditation programme, which celebrates the international dimension of teaching and learning and supports schools in preparing young people for life and work in a global economy.

Sustainable schools award

Our world is under threat like never before. We’re destroying forests, choking the oceans with plastic, decimating wildlife population sizes, and causing devastating changes to the climate. The problem is we think we have time. But nature needs life support right now: we must act to reverse the damage and restore nature. That’s why WWF is fighting to ensure a world with thriving habitats and species, and to change hearts and minds so it becomes unacceptable to overuse our planet’s resources. And as we are the first generation to know we are destroying the world, and could be the last that can do anything about it, we’re putting even greater efforts into our education work, helping young people explore their connections with nature, and supporting schools and teachers to offer learning experiences that equip young people to build a sustainable world.

WWF is delighted to champion this Sustainable Schools award which celebrates the achievements of schools who are committed to empowering a new generation of environmental citizens and green ambassadors.

learning to help school staff around the world to be the best they can- from
